Schedule reboot option for devices inside Nebula

GiuseppeR

Hello everyone,

is there a way to schedule reboots for appliances inside Nebula?

If I look into firewalls, switches and other devices I can see "Reboot" button but with no choice of scheduling it.

For example: I want that some Security Routers tha I have on the field go for a reboot once a month. Like DCS channel search you can schedule if you want.

Is there a way to do that or it is a missing feature to add to Nebula Ideas section?

Hi @GiuseppeR ,

Currently, there is a reboot schedule available for AP and mobile routers. For detailed information, please refer to the following articles:

With the introduction of Nebula Phase 17.20, a new feature has been added to resolve some IoP (Interoperability) issues.

Supported Models: NWA50AX, NWA55AXE, NWA90AX, NWA50AX PRO, NWA90AX PRO, and WBE660S.

Steps to Schedule a Reboot:

1. Direction: Devices > Access point > Select an AP > Status, choose Maintenance

2. Enable the schedule, and select the specific date and time you want to reboot the AP.

By following these steps, you can schedule a reboot to tackle IoP issues, enhancing the interoperability and overall performance of your network setup.

Result

Check the log at Monitor > Access point > Event log. The reboot by schedule is recorded "Device is rebooted by scheduler!"

Hi @GiuseppeR,

There's no schedule reboot feature for the Security Router on Nebula currently. Could you share why you need schedule reboot fuction for the Security Router?

Hello @Zyxel_Melen

this was a wider request regarding all of Zyxel products, to be specific with security routers I saw better performance after a reboot (like in the Case240700129).

Is there a chance to see "Schedule Reboot" option inside Nebula?

Have a nice day, best regards

Hello @Zyxel_Judy

I saw that option under APs panel.

I tried to find that option also on NR7101 and NR5101 that I have on the field. I'm unable to see that.

I see that "Maintenance" option only on a brand spanking new FWA505 that I installed recently.

Is that correct?

Zyxel_Judy

Hi @GiuseppeR ,

You're right. The maintenance feature is only supported by the successors of the NR5101 and NR7101, such as the FWA710, FWA510, and FWA505.
